"I gaz'd upon the dance, where ladies hight
We're moving in the light
OF mirrors and of lamps. With music and
with flowers.
Danced on the joyous hours.
Could Terpsichore, the fair Goddess, have
looked in upon the scene of the Twin-City
Club room on Wednesday evening last, June
the 18th, she would doubtless have lent
appreciative, approving smile, for there were
gathered hundreds of beautiful women and
gallant men, ready at the first sound of the
music to engage in the merry dance This
elegant Club, which is one of Winston's most
popular institutions, gives each year mag
nifcent reception and dance complimentary
to visiting ladies, who at this season of the
year are numerous in the Twin-Clty. The
one on Wednesday evening last was the
most delightful ever given by the Club; the
spacious rooms were beautifully and elabor-,
ately decorated by Starr, the Florist, with
evergreens, blooming tropical plants, and
sweet scented flowers.
To Mr.. A. Ryttenberg, Chairman of Com
mittee of Arrangements Is due great praise
for his rare good taste in having the room
so charmingly arranged. In the centre of
tue large ballroom was suspended an UNI
| brella of rare cut flowers which was present
| ed by the Club to Mrs. r. A. Ayers, wife of
Hon. R. A. Ayers, Attorney General of Vir-
| ginia to whom in the earlier part of the
| evening a reception was given. At 1l:30
| o'clock dancing was begun, and surely no
fairer scene was ever looked upon in the Ok,
North State-here were gathered society
Representative from North and South Car
olina, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, and
| Texas Amid this scene of far women,
| sweet girl graduates, and Fashions queens,
gallant men and gay courtiers, there was one
whose regal bearing and majestic graceful
| ness made her the cynosure of all eyes. She
was indeed, ''The glass of fashion and the
mould of form, the observed of all observ-
ers."
Music was furnished by Varalla's Italisn
| Band
